When Su Wan thought about it carefully, he really remembered that there was such a person who was the steward of a certain shop. He was not very old. He was only twenty-three or twenty-four years old this year, but he was quite valued by Steward Lin. It seemed that he wanted to Train him as the next big steward.
It was precisely because of this that Su Wan knew about Guanshi Lu.
"Isn't Steward Lu the candidate you want to be your apprentice? If he leaves, your side"
Lin Guanshi said: "It doesn't matter. He is indeed a bit capable. I valued him more before, but I also know that he is not satisfied with the status quo. If he can get into the eyes of the princess, it would be great. gone."
"As for me, I also understand the meaning of the princess, just continue to be successful. In this way, it is very easy to find someone who can do such a big job. No matter how bad it is, I will teach it and run it in my way. .¡±
Steward Lin does have his own set of regulations. The shops in his hands are not hot shops. In the imperial city, they can only be called mediocre.
However, there are some unobtrusive businesses that are very profitable in private.
These shops are in his hands, and every year, or even every month, the income is considerable.
Su Wan nodded: "Then let Steward Lu come over to take a look. Since it's a new business, what I need is a steward who is good at pioneering. If I tried him and it doesn't work, I don't want it either."
The business Su Wan was talking about was naturally a matter for the merchant brothers. The merchant brothers are indeed capable, but they are just two people, and there must be insufficient manpower.
The bustling place in the imperial city is the most profitable, and Su Wan didn't want to miss it, so she thought of arranging a steward on the imperial city side, so that the two brothers could manage the affairs of the imperial city.
"This is what it should be. If he fails, it means that he has no ability, and he can't blame others. When the subordinate returns, he will go talk to him about it, and then bring him to meet the princess."
Su Wan nodded, seeing that everything was done, and then asked Shan Wu to send Steward Lin away.
When Shanwu came back, he found out about the affairs of the outer courtyard.
"The ones who came to look for you today are Mr. Zhuo and others. In the morning, I heard that they were appreciating poems and paintings. At noon, I asked the kitchen to deliver some food. Afterwards, I was writing essays and playing chess."
"Oh? It's Mr. Zhuo again?" Su Wan felt a little surprised. This Zhuo Jiu lost to Li Lin in a chess game yesterday, and he came to the door today. Isn't this looking for abuse?
"It's Mr. Zhuo."
Su Wan's face was weird for a while, but he reached out and rubbed the center of his eyebrows and then ignored it.
The friendship between women came about strangely. They talked about their favorite food, or their favorite rouge, gouache and jewelry. While talking, they felt that the other party was their bosom friend, and then they were good sisters.
In the same way, the friendship between men also came about strangely, or they drank wine and chatted together, or enjoyed poems, paintings and music houses together, or even those who competed together and could be referred to as confidants. It is a great joy in life to have good teachers and helpful friends.
Zhuo Jiu was able to come to the door today, and he has stayed in the outer court for so long, so naturally he didn't come to cause trouble, he presumably came to make friends.
"Go and ask the kitchen to prepare some snacks, pastries, and dried fruits, and then ask someone to boil some hot water, so that they won't be able to drink a sip of hot tea in a while, and there are not many people in the house. If you two are okay, go to the outer courtyard to help Make tea and serve."
Shan Wu paused for a moment: "Slaves, servants?"
The two of them usually served in the inner courtyard and seldom went to the outer courtyard. Now they are asked to boil water and make tea, which is really a bit caught off guard.
"Why? Can't you go?" Su Wan smiled, "It's not a big deal, even if you did something wrong, you young masters are not unreasonable people, and won't care about you. Besides, this bullying has to be done." See who the master is."
"Take it as an experience, and you can talk to them when you go back."
The two of them were also a little moved when they heard the words, and Zhu Cui, who was usually quiet on weekdays, showed expectant eyes.
The two looked at each other, and Shan Wu said: "Then madam, the slaves and servants will pass by now, and they said that madam asked us to make tea."
Su Wan nodded: "Go ahead, do your job well."
The two saluted, and then went out together. After a while, Xiao Sang came back.
"Madam let the two of them go to the outer courtyard?"
Su Wan hummed: "Let them go and have a look. There will be many more things like this in the future. It would be great if they can stay. If they can't, then let's talk about it."
theXiao Sang immediately understood Su Wan's meaning after hearing the words: "Madam, is this trying to test them?"
Su Wan's fingers lightly brushed over the edge of the teacup: "Young master, a romantic and talented man, once he gets it, he will fly to the branches and become a noble person. Someone always thinks about it."
"Whether this person is determined or not, let's see if he bites the hook when the bait is tempting enough."
Xiao Sang said: "Madam is right. There will be more such things in the future. If they can't even overcome this temptation, how can they continue to stay by Madam's side."
"But I see that these two people are okay. Before going to the outer courtyard, I went to find me and asked me to come to Madam's side, so that Madam would not be able to drink hot tea even if she wanted to."
"It's really interesting."
Su Wan looked at the sky outside. At this time, there were no earth dragons growing in the house, and it was indeed a little cold. It was fine with the charcoal fire, but if it was far away, it would feel cold, so she stopped thinking about dancing and piano.
"What happened to the thing that asked you to send someone to inquire this morning? Then Su Ran is really going to be the side concubine of King Ming?"
Xiao Sang said: "It's easy to inquire about this matter. I heard that the brochure has been handed in. I don't know the details, but now Su Ran is very prosperous in the imperial city. It is said that many noble ladies and noble daughters will retreat three times when they see her." Where is the ruler?"
"Speaking of it, it is also because of the recent accident of King Sui. Your Majesty's three adult princes, King An is already useless, and now King Sui has been demoted to a commoner. The rest is only King Ming. Many people in the imperial city speculate King Ming will ascend the throne in the future."
"Presumably Su Ran thinks the same way. If King Ming is just a prince, she will definitely not agree to be a side concubine. But if King Ming is the prince, she will be a prince or even an emperor in the future. Her side concubine will be very different. .¡±
"If she keeps procrastinating like this, when King Ming enters the East Palace, with her embarrassing status, it will not be easy for her to become the side concubine of the prince, so she is anxious to become the side concubine of the palace first."
The crown prince is the crown prince, which concerns the family, the country, and the world. Naturally, the women around him should not be messed up. To be a side concubine, they must have a clean family background, and the girl herself must be clean. Otherwise, His Majesty and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty would not agree.
The bunch of things about Su Ran have nothing to do with innocence. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
